Drones, AI, and machine learning were all integrated into the state’s plantation industry, as demonstrated during the Kerala Plantation Expo. The event featured demonstrations of the use of drones for targeted spraying, automation for pesticide and irrigation, and more. The show also included cutting-edge drip irrigation systems built on machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Technological Progress in the Plantation Industry
Planters are adopting mechanization at a higher rate as a result of lower production costs brought forth by startups and technological equipment. Today, many plantations use automation for pest detection, pesticide spraying, and watering. Fully automated farm administration, commodity procurement, and worker data procurement were also showcased at the event.
Using AI and Drones Together to Spray Pesticides
One of the main attractions of the show was the use of drones to spray insecticides in selected areas. These drones have sensors that allow them to identify diseased plants and target them with pesticides based on information that is transmitted to the drone. Companies and plantation owners are very interested in this cutting-edge device.
